Bangladesh, Pakistan are fighting equally in Rawalpindi

Bangladesh had a great start with the ball. Later, Saud Shakeel brought Pakistan back into the fight with a jaw-dropping promise.

On the first day of the Rawalpindi Test, which was interrupted by rain, the bat-ball battle was crowded.

Rain took away more than half of the day. Only 41 overs have been played.

Pakistan collected 154 runs from this. Bangladesh gain 4 wickets.

After losing 3 wickets for 16 runs, Pakistan returned to the match in a great way. Shakil unbeaten on 57 runs off 92 balls. Mohammad Rizwan unbeaten on 31 balls for 24 runs. The duo's collection is 44 runs.

The game started 4 and a half hours after the scheduled time due to first rain and then wet outfield. Initially it was decided to play 48 overs, but it was not possible due to lack of light.

Hasan Mahmud turned Abdullah Shafiq (2 off 14 balls) into a great catch by Zakir Hasan in the team's fourth over. Then in the seventh and ninth overs, Shariful removed captain Shan Masood (6 from 11 balls) and Babar Azam (0 from 2 balls). Both were caught behind the wicket.

Hasan Mahmud and Shariful took 2 wickets each to give Bangladesh a great start.

Saim became Hasan's second victim by scoring his first career fifty in the last session. After that, Shakil took the team forward with Rizwan.

Summary Score:

Pakistan 1st innings: 158/4 in 41 overs (Shafiq 2, Saim 56, Masood 6, Babar 0, Shakeel 57*, Rizwan 24*; Shariful 12-4-30-2, Hasan 13-3-33-2, Nahid 1 -0-48-0, Mirage 4-0-24-0, Shakib 2-0-12-0)
